1.What are the characteristics of the following members of Parvana’s family?
(Characteristics of a person would be things like their personality, their age, their occupation and their interests).

Parvana's Mothers temper gets shorter each day and she always agrees on Noorias opinion, she also believes that education is important too. Went to university.

Nooria is an older sister of Parvanas and she is really bossy to Parvana. She has long thick hair. She was close to her brother who passed away. She teases Parvana. She helps her mom by taking care of the children and also helps her mother by cleaning and cooking.

Ali

Ali is an two year old toddler boy. He is the only son.

Maryam

Maryam is five years old girl and she loves parvana.

2. Why did Parvanna’s father specifically ask her to take care of the rest of the family? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

I think Parvanna's father asked Parvanna to take care of the rest of the family because Parvanna was the girl who helped her father sell items at the market and knows more about the market more then her other siblings and also Parvanna can go outside.

I also think that Parvanna's father asked Parvanna to take of the rest of the family because she was the only person from her siblings that went outside and also Parvanna was the one who helped her father at the market and also helped out at their home too.

3. How will Parvanna’s family deal with the loss of her father? Explain your thinking.

I think Parvanna's family will deal with the loss of her father by sending Parvanna to the market to shop and sell like her father and also taking the part of her father. The mother might turn Parvanna to a boy because in the text it said that boys were only aloud to go outside. Thats why most boys/mens go to the market to sell or shop for their family.

I also think that they will do nothing because the are really sad to do anything.
